The last two times he has been healthy for a full season, Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt has led the NFL in sacks. He is currently tied for the league lead in sacks per game—the Minnesota Vikings’ Danielle Hunter has half a sack more without having had a bye week—with 9.5 through eight games. And next up is a first-year starter in the Green Bay Packers’ Jordan Love, whose approach this week seems to be to not make too big a deal about it.
“I think every team has some good pass rushers and you see them every week”, he told reporters yesterday about facing Watt and Alex Highsmith for the Steelers this weekend, via the team’s website.
